Orchestral & Concert Percussion at MUSIC STORE professional

The Orchestral and Concert Percussion category offers professional percussion instruments for symphony orchestras, concert bands, music schools and stage productions. The range includes concert snare drums, bass drums, orchestral cymbals, timpani, mallet instruments and specialised accessories.

Concert Snare Drums & Concert Bass Drums

Concert snare drums and concert bass drums form the rhythmic foundation in orchestral settings. Concert snares typically feature finely adjustable snare wires, allowing precise response and dynamic control. Concert bass drums are often mounted on dedicated stands and are widely used in symphonic repertoire and marching works.

Many instruments are equipped with Fiberskin heads, designed to emulate the tonal character of traditional calfskin while offering modern durability. The Concert Toms category also includes high-quality toms and tam-tams for additional orchestral colour and emphasis.

Orchestral Cymbals & Gongs – Defined Dynamic Accents

Orchestral cymbals are essential for dynamic climaxes and expressive accents. Hand cymbals are played with leather straps, while suspended cymbals are mounted on stands to allow full resonance and sustain. Typically crafted from B8 or B20 bronze, they offer balanced projection and tonal depth.

Gongs and tam-tams are equally important within orchestral percussion. Diameter directly influences volume and frequency spectrum, with larger models producing deeper and more powerful tones. The selection includes both affordable entry-level models and premium concert gongs from established manufacturers.

Timpani for Orchestra and Stage

Timpani are among the most sophisticated instruments in orchestral percussion. Professional models feature precise tuning mechanisms, high-quality kettle construction and accurate pitch stability. They are indispensable in symphonic repertoire and advanced ensemble work.

For individual configurations and professional consultation, our specialist team is available via phone or email.

Glockenspiel, Xylophone & Vibraphone

Glockenspiels, xylophones and vibraphones are central mallet instruments in both educational and professional contexts. They promote rhythmic precision and tonal awareness while serving essential roles in orchestral literature.

The range includes instruments for music education as well as high-end concert models for professional stage and studio applications.

In the Orchestral Percussion Accessories section you will find mallets, beaters, gong stands, cymbal straps and specialised heads for timpani and concert drums. High-quality accessories ensure optimal sound projection and reliable performance in professional settings.
